I was thinking as a Liverpool fan last night, if I could take 1 club out of the title race, who would I pick?

1 month ago would have been city.

3 weeks ago would have been Chelsea, although 2 straight defeats and their record against the top 10 has since altered this.

1 week ago would have been Spurs, although still think they will have to be lucky with injuries to stay up there all season.

Probably back to City now, no others were considered.:)

I assume Liverpool fans that said it was a foul on Salah for a push in the back will agree that Kane should have had a penalty for the challenge by Mane when he missed the header from the corner? Both hands in his back and pushed him.

Had his hands on him but he certainly didn’t push him.
If he pushed him forward Kane would have been under the ball and put his header over the bar but he didn’t.

Is that more against than last time? It feels like it is.

Do they identify which way clubs vote?

I thought it was 14 against last time, not sure.?‍♂️

The article I read didn’t list the teams.
Edit:
A Villa, Burnley, C Palace, Fulham Leicester C, Leeds U, Newcastle U, Sheffield U, West Ham U, Wolverhampton W
 
Killing a bit of time watching the villa game.
It must drive Grealish up the wall, playing with the muppets on his own team. Keeps setting them up...they keep mucking it up.
Losing Barclay must be a real blow to him, he was at least operating on the same wavelength.
 
Good to see Mourinho whinging and crying ?

He pushed him - made a meal of it etc etc but he still pushed him which is a foul at the end of the day , he made contact using his hands to push him , may have been looking for the contact etc but the Fulham player complied. If that happens to someone in the penalty area then the ref gives a penalty. It’s a foul - however soft it may be

He had his hands on him and put pressure on his back which is a push.

He made contact using his hands to push him. It's a foul - however soft it may be.

And my original post was slightly tongue in cheek. I don't think either were fouls but interested to see that those Liverpool fans saying that a push on Salah was a foul but a push by Mane wasn't.

Firesticks seem to be the issue. Do you have any other way to watch ?

We watched on our smart TV app first half yest and second half on a Roku box

Both fine no issues

Guy I played with today had no end of issues with a firestick
 
Good to see Henderson still playing well for Sheff UTD ?

Another player with a hamstring gone - either they are being highlighted more or it’s happening more because of the schedule

Players put their hands on each other all the time.
A push is a push yes but it wasn’t a push on Kane he didn’t push him .
It was just a really bad sitter

Poor decision by WBA in my opinion https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55349406

Not sure Allardyce is the answer and hoping he'll drag them into the relegation mire and his reputation finally gets shot.

They're already in relegation mire how can he drag them into it? He will pick up points against the teams around them. Not sure if it will be enough as they have a really poor squad. But Sheffield Utd look dead and buried so that's one spot taken care of anyway.

Agree Sheffield Utd are done but a lot of clubs get new manager syndrome and string a few unexpected results together. It is so tight down there that a couple of wins could get them out of the relegation zone. Big game for Big Sam with a local derby at the weekend, although Liverpool after that and then Leeds so a tough ask even for Sam the Saviour
